Import from UK
Hi,
I am planning to move from UK to Poland and take my PCX with me (import)
As everybody knows in UK you ride on left side of the road and in continental Europe on right side.
Usually cars and some bikes needs to be adjusted to be registered in other European country
What would I need to adjust with PCX? (I am wondering about lights in most)
I will appreciate any help

Re: Import from UK
All you have to do is move your seat and handlebars from the right hand side of the scooter to the left hand side in order to be compliant. I'm pretty sure Honda provides a tool for this in their well equipped tool bag under the seat.

Re: Import from UK
It's a scooter...There really should be no adjustment. Just ride it on the right side of the road for the country you're in.

The headlamp is the same on PCXs sold in the UK and on the mainland of Europe.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Re: Import from UK
gn2 - thank you - this helps a lot. I was afraid that to register I will need to replace whole headlights module which is quite expensive

Re: Import from UK
Might be some differences in laws concerning driving, parking, mandatory gear and lane usage for motorbikes & scooters. Perhaps emergency flashers are permitted or required. You never know from state to state here, surely from country to country you might have some changes.

Re: Import from UK
2014 (15') PCX's come with hazard flashers, but hey, most people can ride/drive any vehicle temporarily just the equivalent of MOT's/Tax, etc may require certain things (carrying a triangle warning thingy?).

A switch on the rhs bar flashes all four indicators - probably added to make the bike more european wide legal.

I love the emergency blinkers
Always turn it on when swooshing in between cars in high traffic to be more visible.

Re: Import from UK
In the UK it's illegal to drive/ride with hazard lights on if your vehicle is ok, but hey, not much chance of being stopped in the UK these days - may be fine in SpainFugu wrote:I love the emergency blinkers![]()

Re: Import from UK
Since I don't have flashers on my PCX, I installed strobe lights on mine and am about to add a switch so they can be turned on if the rider wants them on. I am not sure if we will ever ride again, so if I sell the bikes I want to make sure whoever gets them will have some good safety equipment on them.

Re: Import from UK
I took a Honda VFR VETEC bike from UK to Portugal. I just pressed the button to change the digital speedo from MPH to Km. That's all!

Re: Import from UK
In addition to the above I reregistered it in Portugal. That was the difficult part. Hope it's easier in Poland.
